If you have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, are undergoing treatment or have recently finished treatment and are now on the path back to health, you are not alone.
The West Dorset Breast Cancer Support Group is a group of breast cancer survivors who have joined together to show there is life after breast cancer. Although we are not a charity, we operate with the guidance and support of the Macmillan Breast Care Nurse Specialists who are based at Dorset County Hospital.
